Description
Detached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1875, having attic, porch to central bay and canted bay windows to gable-fronted end bays and to side elevations. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and with roof lights and with brackets to eaves. Rendered walls having stucco quoins. Pointed segmental-arch window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Timber panelled door to gabled porch with carved bargeboards.
Appraisal
This attractive house is likely to have been designed as a hunting lodge and is located on the shores of Lough Derg. The building displays many of the architectural features of the later nineteenth century, including bay windows, steeply pitched roof and pointed-arch windows. The retention of the original timber sashes and slate roof help to preserve the original character of the house.
